Marvel's The Defenders — Official Trailer

Okay, now that you have met them individually in four separate Netflix shows. It's time to meet them together as one team in one epic miniseries.

Feast your eyes on the first official trailer for "The Defenders," Marvel's eagerly anticipated superhero team-up series, in which New York's mightiest street-level heroes -- Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Iron Fist (Finn Jones) -- decide to work in unison for a common purpose: to protect the city from a powerful and mysterious new villain (played by Sigourney Weaver).

Set to the classic Nirvana song "Come as You Are," the preview provides the very first footage of the team in action. Naturally, we see the four squabbling heroes performing an epic fight sequence set in a long hallway. We also see a glimpse of a resurrected Elektra Natchios, Daredevil's ex-girlfriend assassin (once again played by Elodie Yung). And, of course, this wouldn't be a Marvel Netflix series without Rosario Dawson's badass nurse character Claire Temple, who can be seen in the clip introducing Luke Cage to his future partner, Iron Fist.

Hailing from "Daredevil" producers Marco Ramirez and Douglas Petrie, "The Defenders" will only consist of eight episodes. It's set to premiere globally on Friday, August 18th, only on Netflix.
